  Education

[Sarista Celestial]

You view TVP as an ideal concept where people change into docile pacifist that become militant when the occasion hits them. In your mind, people will travel back in time to stop crimes, that have already occurred; by using the guidance of computers which will educate people, which are guided by people. No one will have religion, because TVP will educate them out of it. Ignoring the fact that religion has existed for eons and people are willing to kill and die for it. ARE YOU INSANE!?!

[Sarista Celestial]

This is not Jacque Fresco's VP. This is something else that looks, tastes, feels and sounds like totalitarianism. You have jumped off TVP band wagon have begun your own thing. So, in your idealism, what's to keep the murders from killing the volunteers?

[Sarista Celestial]

You stated the primary reason for most crime is lack of resources. Winona Ryder has the resources, so that knocks the legs out from under your initial argument. Make up your mind. Is crime done primarily because of lack of resources or is it something else?

[Sarista Celestial]

What is in place to decide if these people have a background, if the background is suitable, or if only people with a background in specific fields can participate. You stated earlier that the "WE" equals everyone. So, if everyone participates and makes decisions, with the guidance of computers, how is this done as well? Do they take a vote?

[Sarista Celestial]

The original reason for prisons was to lock away the murders, rapists, thieves and insanity. There was no money initially involved. So you are wrong on the meaning behind prisons. Putting people away from society is either isolation or shunning which all amounts to a form of prison.

[Sarista Celestial]

How are you going to convince them that they are wrong? What makes you think that you can convince them that they are wrong? If you are really that confident in the abilities of TVP go to Afghanistan and convince the Taliban. If you are a woman, don't forget to cover up or you will be raped and then decapitated.

[Sarista Celestial]

So who/wah exactly is doing the guidance? Is it the people or the computers? Jacque specifically states that computers will not control humans. So if anyone decides that the guidance of the computers are insufficient, what then? Does it all go to pot? Who is to state that any religion is nonsense? There are more religious people in the world then aren't. Why would they give up their religious beliefs to adhere to TVP? They believe GOD(s) is the true force and the world will burn.continued>

[Sarista Celestial]

Ahhh, I get you. So everyone with the guidance of technology and computers is going to altogether stop murders, rapists, child molesters? Well, would the murders, rapists, child molesters be a part of the EVERYONE? And.. if a few parts of the "everyone" want to do harm while the other parts of the "everyone" want to stop them doesn't it all contradict itself? This makes no sense.

[Sarista Celestial]

Yes, you did state that work would be done to prevent murders and many crimes. Yet, you did not answer a specific question I posed. I will explain it again so that maybe this time you will get it. Take your time and try not to get confused... TVP is now normal all over Earth, one person is afflicted by means we do not know, that one person grabs a weapon and kills 20 people. Are you with me? That same one person is going after his/her 21st person, how is she/he stopped?

[Sarista Celestial]

.> as if it's some type of sentient being. Why do you defend a topic that has not be initiated? You continue to do this. You create a strawman and then you argue agents it. Why do you do that? Why do you not just read what I've typed and respond to my words, instead of mutating my words to create your own meaning? Really, I'm interested to know why fanatics do this. It's extremely curious and makes me think that you are intoxicated or simply mentally lacking on some level. Please explain.
